The basis for the effective treatment and cure of a patient is the
rapid diagnosis of the disease and its causative agent, which is
based on the analysis of the clinical symptoms coupled with
laboratory tests. Although rapid advance ments have been made in
the laboratory diagnosis of virus diseases, the neces sary
isolation of the causative virus from the clinical specimens is a
relatively long procedure. Viruses which integrate into the
cellular DNA (such as human immunodeficiency virus, HIV -1, or
hepatitis B virus) are difficult to identify by molecular
techniques, while viruses which exist in the clinical material in
low concentrations are even more formidable to identify. Recently,
the application of the polymerase chain reaction (peR) technique
developed by K. D. Mullis and detailed in the study by Saiki et al.
(1985) led to a revolution in virus diagnosis. The peR technique
was rapidly applied to the diagnosis of viruses in clinical
material. Volume 1 of Frontiers of Virology provides new
information on the advan tages of the use of the peR for the
diagnosis of many human disease-causing viruses, as well as on some
problems with its use."
